However, it is unlikely, who has enough funds and strength to compete with the five major powers?No single investment group can.

Chapter 9 Research and Development Capabilities

"President Qusay, our negotiations in the East are going well." Dr. Saadi reported to Qusayhui.

It has been more than ten days since the delegation was sent out to negotiate, and now, good news comes one after another.

For the aerospace project, Dr. Saadi is the general manager, and the satellite project negotiated with the East is also under his management.

"Really?" Qusay was also very happy, and asked him, "What project did we discuss?"

"We will send some experts to the east to work with their personnel to develop the satellite we need. We have purchased sophisticated optical scanning equipment from Europe and cooperated with the high-bandwidth digital communication system developed by Ousheng. Coupled with the star structure provided by Dongfang and the final test, we expect to complete the research and development of our satellite within half a year, and at the same time use their rocket to launch into space."

This is the reconnaissance satellite project that makes Qu Sai most hopeful. This one is just the beginning. After you have a few, you can gradually expand it into a space-based reconnaissance system that can cover most areas. Now it is mainly scanning the Middle East. , however, will gradually expand to all parts of the world in the future.

In future wars, we must stand on the commanding heights. If we want to make Iraq stronger in the end, then we need to take various shortcuts!

"At the same time, we will participate in the whole process of research and development of satellites and satellite launches. There are also many references for the missiles developed by ourselves. We can learn a lot of valuable experience from them. At the same time, in order to control our satellites , We will establish a satellite monitoring and control battle in our appropriate area, monitor the operation of the satellite at ordinary times, and control the orbit change of the satellite when necessary."

In space, Iraq is completely blank, and now, Iraq has finally started its own pace. Through this system, it can monitor all the satellites above its head. When the US reconnaissance satellite flies over its head, its own side can advance Got the advance warning time.

These will help Iraq greatly improve its scientific and technological level in the space field, and it is completely worthwhile for Iraq to invest these funds.

Whoever controls space will gain the commanding heights of future wars!

After Dr. Saadi went out, Qusay sat in his chair, thinking about the development of Iraq, and wanted to build a blank Iraq into an industrial power. road.For now, Iraq is working hard to promote its own industrialization process, but because Iraq's reserves are very low, it cannot be said that Iraq's own industry is strong now.

On the surface, it seems that Iraq has begun to flourish in various industries. In addition to the military industry, it has introduced a variety of projects that can produce the world's most advanced fighter jets, missiles and other projects. In terms of civilian use, it has introduced a series of Industrial projects such as metallurgy, chemicals, machinery, etc. are all under development.

Everything seems to be thriving, but Iraq still lacks another condition, that is, research and development capabilities!

The old capitalist countries have experienced many years of accumulation for several generations, and their research and development capabilities are very strong. This is why they have become a powerful country in industry. However, these Iraqs do not have it. Educating people, and hired a large number of personnel from abroad, Iraq's own research and development strength is still very weak.

The production line that only introduces equipment will always be outdated after more than ten years. Only with strong research and development capabilities can we ensure that we will always stand on the commanding heights.

However, these Iraqs are constantly going on, and Iraq is making up for its own shortcomings.

Although the various projects in cooperation with the eastern powers are not the most advanced in the world, they are definitely projects that can obtain complete experience including research and development.However, Iraq is now cooperating with the eastern powers to develop the JH-[-], and it will completely complete the entire development process. This will cultivate an Iraqi research and development team, which is even more significant.

"President Qusay, Libya is urging again, hoping that we can deliver the Super Seven fighters made for them as soon as possible." At this time, he received a call from Tarek.

The colonel was in a hurry. After signing the contract with Iraq, he had to wait for such a long time without seeing the shadow of the plane, so he called in person to urge when Iraq would be able to deliver the goods.

Only then did Qusay remember the Super Seven fighter jet. Now, there is still one problem that has not been solved when this fighter jet is put on the market: avionics!

"Call Joseph over here," Qusay said to the secretary.

The Super Seven was originally installed with the same avionics as the F-20, which was equipped on fighter jets exported to Pakistan. However, this set of avionics cannot be exported to other countries.

In order to be able to open up the international market, Iraq needs to work with Chengfei to improve a set of exportable avionics equipment for Super Seven. Joseph is the general manager of Iraq, and occasionally goes to Chengfei to coordinate the progress.

Now, in Iraq, Joseph has been able to provoke a big beam. This down-and-out Dassault engineer finally shined like gold in Iraq.

"President Qusay." Joseph arrived quickly and said to Qusay.

"To what extent is our self-developed avionics for Super Seven now?" Qusay asked.

"We have purchased a large number of mature electronic components from the West, as long as they have the same function. So far, the progress has been smooth, and only the last radar difficulties and software writing problems remain." Joseph said.

The so-called self-developed avionics, not all have to rely on themselves. On this point, Qusay knows that if every chip must be produced by itself, it will never be piled up. Fall short of target.In terms of these electronic technologies, the Soviet Union is not good enough, and the Eastern powers are far behind. Purchasing some electronic components from the West is the fastest way.

Even so, this kind of avionics is very difficult, because this is a system that uses 1553B data bus technology to integrate all discrete avionics systems and jointly process them through the zhōngyāng processor.

In addition to hardware, software is also very important. They can reverse survey and map, imitate functions, and achieve similarity in hardware, but the software must be completely written by themselves.

These, for them, are completely new.

This is only for Iraq. The exported fighters can use components imported from the West, while the fighters prepared by the eastern powers for their own use need to completely produce all electronic components independently, and there are even more technical problems to overcome.

"Libya has been pressing for delivery. When can we complete the research and development of this avionics and deliver the aircraft at the earliest?" Qusay asked.

The airframe has already been manufactured, but the avionics needs to be waited for.

"It will take at least half a year," Joseph said.

Half a year!I don't know how anxiously the colonel in the desert should wait.

And what Qusay thought was more, in this case, he would not be able to help the colonel.

86 was a year full of disasters, and it was the same for Colonel Gaddafi. The United States launched an air strike, bombed Libya, killed Gaddafi's children, and almost killed Gaddafi.

If Iraq can provide Gaddafi with fighter planes like this, then the American planes will not be so aggressive. As long as they can take down American planes, this kind of fighter planes will be famous. Orders from the third world will be Flocked to become a best-selling fighter in the world.

US sanctions?That is impossible, because in this air strike on Libya, the United States once again stood on the moral opposite side. Both France and Spain refused to allow American aircraft to pass through their airspace.

In particular, this kind of aircraft has nothing to do with the United States, and none of the parts on it are made in the United States. Even if the United States wants to impose sanctions, it cannot give any reason. Is it time for the US economy to be in turmoil?

Only now, it seems that his wish is destined to be impossible to realize.

Qusay helped Gaddafi, of course, not just because Gaddafi was bullied by the United States. Qusay was no longer so naive. Of course, he did this to completely pull Libya into the Iraqi-led Come among a big warm family.

Due to geographical marginality, after Iraq gained absolute status in the Middle East, its next target was North Africa.

In North Africa, Libya is a country with an excellent geographical location and a long Mediterranean coastline. If Iraq can have a military presence in Libya, then it can regard the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea as its own inland sea.

Moreover, they are all Arab brothers, so Qusay has always extended the hands of friendship.

If the fighter planes cannot enter service on time, only the air defense force can help Gaddafi. At the right time, it is time to help Libya improve the combat capability of the air defense force.

After dealing with these matters, Qusay called Hikmat again to inquire about the progress of the recent events in the East.

"Now, more than ten days have passed since the signing of the Plaza Agreement. In the past few days, the rì yuan in the market has not appreciated, the dollar has not fallen, and the rì yuan has depreciated slightly." Xikoma Te said.

"That is to say, in the market, someone is secretly increasing their holdings of US dollars and selling Japanese dollars." Qusay said.

It’s our own actions. President Qusay’s speech is still very mysterious. Hikmat said: “Yes, now, in order to help the dollar depreciate, the five countries have invested nearly 400 billion US dollars in the market. In the currency market of the island countries , has been loitering a whole lot of excess dollars."

Chapter 9: The U.S. Dollar Plummets

$400 billion!Although Iraq has invested nearly 700 billion U.S. dollars in this operation, the main funds in it are all from Saudi Arabia. Moreover, Saudi Arabia, which is rich and powerful, has spent this money ruthlessly, hoping to get more Multiple profits.

The depreciation of the rì yuan this time is only a basic expenditure of the United States. The United States also spends a lot in other aspects, such as military expenditures, and the US-Soviet struggle for hegemony. Although the Soviet Union was dragged down, the US economy is absolutely was greatly affected.

It is not easy for the five countries to spend so much money to carry out this operation.

"It is said that the five countries have spent a total of 500 billion US dollars for this operation. Now, their reserves have been almost exhausted. Should we proceed to the next step?" Hikmat asked.

Qusay shook his head, only the more than 400 billion US dollars is obviously not enough.
